Today, students of the Little School of Waldwick, had a special visit from Dental Hygienist Ms. AnnMarie (mother of our very own Ms. Alissa)! Our Little Schoolers impressed her with their knowledge of dental health. They identified healthy and non-healthy choices to keep teeth strong and sparkling. Students even had a chance to test some of her special dental tools!

Today, our preschool students, celebrated 100 days of Fun and Learning at The Little School of Waldwick! We walked around the building in 100 steps, jumped up and down 100 times, and even had 100 shaped grilled cheese for lunch!

Love is in the air at The Little School of Waldwick today! Our preschool students had so much fun celebrating the special day with a Valentine Exchange, Pink Pancakes with heart strawberries, and even made pink play dough!

How lucky our preschool students were to have such great weather on their Nature Walk last week! Our students from Building One of The Little School of Waldwick, went on a Science Exploration Nature Walk to get a first hand look at what they have been learning about during their science lesson. We explored the changing color of leaves, different leaf shapes, pine cones and more! Visit us on Facebook for photos from the science adventure.

We are so proud of our Little School of Waldwick grads going into kindergarten and 1st grade! A beautiful graduation ceremony was had, where our audience of proud parents, grandparents and friends got to experience songs of friendship and the great journey ahead of them.

As our Little School grads walked down the promenade to receive their diploma, the audience enjoyed listening to mini bios of each student. Such a fun and emotional afternoon! The journey continues, little ones. Onward!

We had such an awesome day celebrating Father’s Day with our graduating Little Schoolers and their dads! The little School of Waldwick was decorated in a construction theme, organized fun activities and songs, dedicated to all our wonderful dads. Then, students and fathers sat down for some coffee, juice and delicious donuts!

We had an absolutely wonderful day at the annual Little School of Waldwick Circus! The weather was beautiful, the children excited and ready, and all of you wonderful parents, family and friends gathered under the big top to watch the magic unfold.

We had ringmasters, tight rope walkers, lion tamers, silly seals, dazzling dancers, acrobats and so much more! We loved sharing these wonderful preschool activities with you all and creating all these special memories together.

The Little School of Waldwick graduating class treated their mothers to an elegant brunch and performance.

They sang songs filled with words of love for all their mothers to show their appreciation. Our preschool students created special handmade hats and necklaces for the mommies to wear during the party. The walls were adorned with decorations made by the children, including a hand-drawn portrait of their mom! After their performance, students invited their mommy to sit while they served them muffins, fruit, cheese and crackers, and of course iced tea! A real treat for all of our hard-working, amazing Little School moms!

The Little School’s Director and educational staff strongly believe that there is an important connection between family and school, especially during the early years. As your child’s primary teacher and first educator, a parents role in their child’s early education is critical to their success!

Each year, we celebrate mothers at our Annual Mother’s Day Tea Party, a special event for students of our graduating class!

The Little School of Waldwick will be closed tomorrow, February 9th, due to the impending blizzard conditions. Stay warm and safe!

The Little School of Waldwick is truly a one of a kind experience! I walked into the little school a year ago and was blown away. I have never seen a nursery school quite like this. Every room in the school is based on a theme and I’m telling you the room set up, with large murals and designs, etc will take your breath away. It’s simply incredible! The education is top-notch. My child is 4 years old and will write 2 or 3 whole sentences by herself. She knows how to do basic math, she can read sm…

My twin girls are students at The Little School of Walkwick, and I can say that there are probably other pre-schools that are very good, there is no school that is better than The Little School. The owner and teachers ensure that each child learns globally as well as specifically depending on the child’s needs. The productions — thanksgiving show, winter show, and annual circus to name a few — provide the children with a wonderful learning experience and self-esteem. The learning environment is …

If you want a premiere nursery school for your child, then go to the Little School of Waldwick. I toured quite a few school before my wife and I chose them. We thought they had the best facilities and most courteous staff. We were right. Having been there two years now, this school amazes us all the time. They put on great holiday festivities and have THE most amazing circus, with the children participating as the show people, at then end of the school year. Terrific school. They get my vote.

My three children have all been students at The Little School and are so well prepared for elementary school that it almost seems as if they were home-schooled. In fact, Maria, the director, and the extraordinary teachers treat every single student with love and personalized attention which fortifies their strengths and gently addresses the needs of every child in each area where he or she requires a little extra help. Each teacher is carefully selected and trained by Maria. They all bring the s…

The little School of Waldwick is the best preschool in the area. My children thrived there and were more than ready for kindergarten. Miss Maria and her staff provide such a warm and loving learning environment. The hours are flexible and the curriculum is varied and fun for the kids.I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Small classes, bigger results should be the motto for The Little School of Waldwick as its nurturing atmosphere is perfect for children. With its exceptional staff, no child is forgotten while gaining the necessary confidence in becoming a valuable member of the society. Also, the children learn to work together and be productive. It’s a family atmosphere that teaches children firm values and invaluable skills that a child will take with them as they continue their education. Top notch!

David Segal

The Little School of Waldwick is the best nursery school out there. The director, Miss Maria does a super job with her program. Her children do all sorts of terrific projects as a group, like building a cave for polar bears while at the same time learning all about winter animals. She puts on grand show, like a circus at the end of the year and a mother’s day brunch. Once you walk into the school, you’ll see what I mean. It’s a spectacular place for kids. Love it.

My son is a toddler and attends the Little School of Waldwick. He loves it. They do so many wonderful activities with the kids and the facility is spacious and lovely. I agree with another comment posted earlier. It does look like a country club or children. Absolutely lovely school !!

We absolutely LOVE the Little School of Waldwick. I recommend this preschool to everyone I know. I have sent both of my children there and can not give everyone there enough praise. They are so loving and caring my children love going to school everyday and come home bragging about all of the wonderful things they have learned. My daughter went onto kindergarten with a huge advantage and it’s all thanks to The Little School. I know see my son following in her footsteps.

Maria Zervoudis

Our son entered The Little School in 2009 and as he graduated this spring, we could not be happier with how far he had come both academically and socially. When I first toured The Little School and met with the school director, Maria Stavrou, and her staff, I knew I came to the right place. Her passion for education, her enthusiasm and commitment to the children under her care, and her cheerful and warm personality truly permeates through the school and her wonderful teaching staff do mirror and…
